If I were looking for snow chains I'd go to Rud Chain, but I just put in 4x4, and when I can't go any farther, It's time to back out.

Chains will only help you so far. When you get stuck with chains your on your own cause tow trucks won't be able to reach you.
You will be surprised with four wheel low range.

If you have a 4x4, you probably won't need tire chains. Most of the roads in Yosemite are closed in the winter. The ones that are open are plowed & maintained. Most of the time a 4x4 with decent tires is adequate. The valley of Yosemite is only about 4,000 feet above sea level. It does get snow, but not too much this time of year.
Check out PepBoys. They used to sell chains, and if you don't use them, you can return them for a full refund. Cheap insurance.
When are you planning on going? The waterfalls should be awesome this year! Lot's of snow...

Thanks for the replies, The reason I want the tire chains is because it´s MANDATORY to carry them.

If the tinks turn difficult I´ll be prepared, if I don´t need them, then I can return (thanks bad dog).

I´ll look at Pep Boys.
